I'm not sure we'll actually get to any of these, but I wanted to post here some outstanding hooks on the other side of Ultan's door, so that you can decide what you want to do next. (Doubtless, there are some things I'm forgetting.)

(1) Return to the Abyssal Dungeon, and explore the opulent area beyond the Gleaming Seal (the 2nd of 7 levels of the dungeon). More information on the Abyssal Dungeon here:
https://plus.google.com/106146496996956180494/posts/cW48xsrmxs3

(2) Visit the Gauntlet of the Panther Priests, the dungeon sacred to Umata-Shi, the father of risks willingly hazarded. This is the dungeon that runs through the body of a great serpent or dragon in the jungle that the Panther Priests call the God Who Died. It is said to be seeded with many treasures, including perhaps the flexible vistrum, the strange all-purpose tool perhaps necessary for opening one of the later doors in the Abyssal Dungeon.

(3) Return to the Hanging Palace of the Incandescent Kings, a big hanging dungeon in a low level of the White Jungle. You have a few reasons for going: to “bury” Hector, to retrieve the Cosmic Seed for Dozar, and to generally continue the process of looting the place. There is the partially collapsed East Wing and tunnels that have yet to be explored, as well as the King’s Tower in the West Wing, which is sure to be laden with treasure.

(4) Travel to the Valley of Flowers, the crash site of the witch Zalvorex’s ship, the Parapraxis. Zalvorex has offered the party 1000 GP for intelligence about the current state of the valley. He is offering 3000 GP for the twilight condenser. Bazekop also seems to be interested in this item.

(5) Finally venture to Zyan Above, the flying pearl of the dreamlands, to find the apartment of Elsa’s family, near the Sky Goose tavern in Volish Hill, and get up to God knows what else.

(6) Return to the Temple of the Archons, many planar gates of which still remain sealed, and could perhaps be opened.

(7) Return to the Lunar Caverns, or try to open up the Churning Gate of the Horoscops, that strange portal just opposite the Ruins of the Inquisitor’s Guild.

    Dozar would like to get #3 wrapped up.

    Yeah, lets send Hector to his final rest. Are we still in truce with Zalvorex's acquaintances?

    Aleksandr Revzin​ yes, in theory, but eventually that suggestion must have worn off.

Zyan as Scented by Hiero's Nose

The Sunken Circle, The Temple of The Archons Steps lead down from each of the five shrines into the sunken area at the center of the Temple of Archons. Along the wall of the depression at shoulder height, an inscription is carved, “It Belongs Not to the Pawn to Question the Intention of the Hand That Moves It”. The bulk of the sunken area is taken up by a single immense block of red stone that has been carved into a wondrous model of a city. When one descends the stairs, the model lights up, illuminated by the same light that currently falls on Zyan above. When you first viewed the model, the streets are lit by the mottled light of sun through dappled clouds. But later, when you poke your heads in to the temple, the model is lit by silver light of the moon and phantasmagorical pools that accumulate below the city's dangling colored lanterns. The model rises to shoulder height at its highest, and waist height at its lowest. It is stylized, with some buildings and locations of ou

The Riches of Bazekop

Image
Over the last five sessions, our party of daring dreamers plummeted in the aerie depths of the lowest level of the White Jungle on the back of a fleet of giant war crows, violent and wild, with a phalanx of storm rider paladins. Their mission was to loot the invisible tower of Bazekop, Prince of the South Wind. In all honesty, my imagination had begun to wear a bit thin and algorithms repeated themselves, over the course of these sessions. So, I’d prefer to be forward looking here. This post is dedicated solely to THE TAKE, the greatest take the party has pulled in our three years of adventuring. (I still hold that had Clovis been present, the party might have perished. The party has a long history of accidental but timely player absences. You wouldn’t have the Petal Blade had Sir Tresken been present for the session in the Cenotaph of Lady Shirishanu where you faced Shirishanu’s handmaiden. But I digress…) Unasi removes his chainmail armor, and sets aside his ho

Campaign News for 5/9/2019

Two weeks pass since you returned from Bazekop's tower with your epic haul. It takes a long time for the items you brought through to be identified, appraised, and for the payouts to the party. In the meantime, the party has been scouting real estate locations, doing research, and pursuing other long term downtime goals. During this time, the party learns of several rumors and events: Since the party's trips to the dreamlands are a state secret, none know the true source of the Chatelaine's newfound wealth and splendor. Wild rumors circulate about the Storm-Riders having won a legendary haul for her. Some say they hunted and slew an ancient dragon that roosted about the shattered isles. Others say that the Storm-Riders ventured in secret through the door in the locked down section of Carver's Quarter around Ultan's Old Print Shop and bring back the riches of the dreamlands. Meanwhile, everyone at the Temple of Ulim is speaking about the party in the Lavender R
